Leapers exhibited for the second time at HuntEx in Johannesburg as a special partnership with National Cartridge Company, the exclusive distributor for Integrix high-performance optics in South Africa. Leapers first began engaging with South African customers directly in 2024 as part of the launch efforts for Integrix, hunting eland and kudu in the Eastern Cape and running hands-on live fire training for the National Cartridge sales team. Home to some of the most iconic hunting grounds in the world and extreme long-range competitions year-round, South Africa is the ultimate proving ground.
Leapers' UTG products have been a mainstay in South Africa due to its widespread hunting industry, offering easy and affordable bipods, mounts, and sling accessories. The UTG Recon 360 line of entry level bipods – a best seller in the United States as well as South Africa – is durable, reliable, and unmatched at its price point, with a stud-to-picatinny adaptor included for traditional bolt-action rifles. The UTG Goliath bipod launched in 2025 as the newest addition to UTG Big Bore bipods, rated for .50 caliber and intended for precision long-range shooting with a sleek robust design. Customers shared their positive feedback and brand love – citing the UTG Big Bore bipod as their go-to on their Victrix .375 Cheytac to shoot out to one-mile distances.

Leapers began distribution to South Africa in 2009 and actively distributes UTG, UTG Pro, and Integrix products worldwide, optimizing fulfillment from headquarters in the U.S., the UTG Europe distribution center in Germany, and Polenar Tactical d.o.o. in the Balkan region. As one of the few U.S.-based companies who exhibits at SHOT Show in Las Vegas and IWA Outdoor Classics in Germany each year, Leapers' distribution approach is expansive and hands-on to get to know its partners' markets firsthand.
